I'm representing all the unemployed slackers here!
I was studying various physics and math courses to be a cosmologist (Carl Sagan was my hero growing up. I'm a geek), when I realized after a few years that it didn't really suit me. I did well and I love it as a hobby, but I couldn't devote my life to it, and you basically have to in that kind of work.
Also tried the opposite, tough manual labour jobs to get a new outlook, but all I got is bigger muscles and smaller happiness lol.

So what does a science geek, who lives like a freedom-loving big kid, do for a living? That's what I'd like to know!

I thought about that; how can I translate what I know and love into a freelance career, and I still might do some kind of freelance work, but I don't think it will be in scientific fields (or writing for that matter, it's not really my strength) because I'm no genius and there's a lot of free information out there already. It would be tough to make a career out of, maybe more work than actually staying in the field. Most likely I'll just dabble in personal projects while working a quiet little job that gives me the most freedom.
